Her smaller stature was in fact part of the point: smaller stunt performers helped make Odysseus and his men appear dwarfed by the gigantic Laestrygonians. According to Dalton, stunt casting comes down to who is right for the job, even if women doubling for men is “definitely less common”. In Hollywood, male stunt performers would sometimes don wigs and women’s clothing to double actresses, a practice known as “wigging”. Pathan was among the women who began changing that; several more female stunt performers entered the industry soon afterwards. Smaller stunt performers helped exaggerate the difference in scale between Odysseus’s men and the cannibals.
